Hey awesome paper, a definite keeper, thanks.

Very Godel Escher Bachian in places.

Reminds of Jay Kappraff's stuff as well (NJIT guy, never met even
though lived in
nearby Jersey City for a spell, had early intercourse with Network Nation's
early infrastructure (Network Nation was an influential book)).

In Bucky World, we start with some reflections in XYZ, of a MITE in one octant,
eight of which (reflections + original) = One Coupler, a spacefilling unit of
volume for us.
